Sound to an installation by Crop
recorded at Ambaradan studio, Milan, in 2000
One of the five tracks I made for a fashion installation made
in 2000 with videomaker extraordinaire Claudio
Sinatti. We've been a band for a bit, Crop, we made
this installation plus the glorious Gardening
piece (and another that I believe is lost), we like what we do
and we might do something together again sometimes. The music
features samples of the greatest italian singer of all times (take
this, Bocelli), Demetrio
Stratos, who passed away in 1979.
The installation was very nice. It visually explored two of Claudio's
passions then and now: making motion pictures from stills, and the joy
of rotation (both elements are also present in Gardening). The
fashion, on the other hand, was... as often fashion is: stiff,
unforgiving and hard to wear - unless you're a coat hanger.
